If this were put together with love by someone who wanted me to smile, I'd love it. But it was put together cynically by someone who wanted my money. It's the difference between a beautiful girl smiling at you, and a beautiful girl smiling at you and saying "$100 for all night". They're very, very different things. Even Tubechoppped.

If she is in fact "beautiful" and only one hundred bucks for the night, that's a goddamn, pussy fire sale and I for one would jump on that deal, of course at that price it will probably burn when I pee the next morning though. Also, way to put a big old smiley face on big brother constantly watching you and every thing you do.

Looks a lot like Frankie ------------------------>

Frankie got out of the house a couple of times and we were worried sick. Both times we used a strategy given to us by someone at the local pet shelter. Leave the door open so that when he does come home he can just waltz right in. It worked both times. He seemed a little freaked out the second time and hasn't tried to escapesince . We also moved away from his stray big brother, who was the one who encouraged him to get out in the first place, so that probably played a part too. Still hoping for the best.

Gosh, you're so right. I really didn't get it until just now. I was one of the "sheeple" for so long and I didn't realize it. Now I'll start speaking in nothing but cliches like these TYT hosts and other college kids.
"Down with the jack-booted fascists!" >> ^Fletch:

Huh? I bet that sounded much more clever in your head. But hey, whatever gets you through your miserable day...

I find red light cameras actually cause me to drive worse. Because whenever I get close to a stop light that has one if it goes yellow I ALWAYS stop even if I shouldn't. I mean I don't go tires screeching into it, but I will do hard stops because once the light is yellow you're not supposed to be in the intersection.

Then all it takes is someone who has rigged the lights to change a second or two too soon and blam you've got a ticket. How do you DISPROVE that?

Then I have to take time off to go to court and try to fight a ticket?

One day I'm going to get rear-ended at one of these lights. Even though I'm doing nothing wrong stopping not entering an intersection at a red light someone else won't be paying attention.

Thanks Big Brother!

Sincerely,
Future Me

That would make a great SNL sketch! <Full circle>

Ahhh you're a goodun, thank you mate!

Scary stuff. That's some scary Big Brother *engineering. The next time we see this tech, it'll probably have a * military tag on it.

Me? I don't even attempt to follow the rules of your pixie... And try to look at yourself before judging others, which appears to be something you excel in.
BTW, since I had 12 years of bible studies as an Israeli Jew, allow me to ask you this - do YOU follow the rules of god as written in the old testament? I'm pretty sure you don't... since you probably have at least 1-10 portraits of your god at home, you go to church which is filled with fake gods and saints (which is also forbidden).
Your god has no value to me, no more than a common pixie - when I was a kid, I believed that I get presents from pixies when I lose my teeth. Now I've grown up out of it... I think It's time for you to do the same... you'll find out that you can be a good person without the big brother in the sky to help you out.

>> ^shinyblurry:

So you're apathetic about the existence of God, but you also have formed a definite opinion on the probability of Gods existence, comparing Him to pixies. So I think it's more accurate to say you don't care because you don't believe. If you thought He was likely to exist I think you would care, don't you think? It's really a fallacy to compare God to pixies or teapots, because they explain precisely zero. The idea of God has explanatory power for our lives, and for the existence of the Universe.
So, what do you think happens to you when you die? You say you are generally moral, and I have no trouble believing that, but restraining yourself from killing people is not exactly the picture of morality. How well do you follow the ten commandments? Do you ever look at a woman with lust? Do you hate anyone? God calls us to a much higher standard than what you seem to be implicating.

I can't say what it's like to be a parent, but I can say what it's like to have been a teenage kid.

You complain about everything. Your parents. Your school. Your friends. Everything that doesn't go your way in your life seems like an unprecedented tragedy of galactic proportions. You're emotional -- when you're happy you're freakin' giddy, and when you're mad all sense of proportion goes out the window, and you let fly with everything you've got.

I'm old enough now to see why that's hard for anyone to handle. I'm old enough now to realize a lot of it was petty childishness, and most of the rest was the kinds of overwrought emotional responses that seem to be common to most teenagers.

Like I've said, I don't know what it's like being a parent, but I'm sure the bit where she said she wouldn't be there to take care of him when he's old probably hurt him a lot more than he's willing to admit. And I'm just as sure she doesn't really mean it.

Growing up isn't easy. I can honestly say I think the first 15 years of my life were a lot harder than the last 15 years of my life. But it's a big adjustment going from complete dependency to being independent. It's a big adjustment going from having your life strictly controlled by someone who knows you and loves you, to going out into a world that's controlled by people who are indifferent, uncompromising and mechanical with how they'll impose limits on you.

I'm just gonna go out on a limb here, and say that it seems unlikely to me her behavior improve because of this. His daughter will not be complaining less. His daughter will not be swearing less. I wouldn't even be surprised if she fights back, stops doing chores, starts swearing to her dad's face, or maybe even runs away.

Maybe I'm just projecting my own childhood onto other people, but that's how I reacted when my parents tried to ground me for thought crimes.

I guess it's a little dangerous letting your kids read 1984 when they're teenagers. The world of Big Brother and your life as a teenager start seeming scarily similar.

The Fifth Amendment says nothing about dash cams. I did a word search both with and without the space.

But seriously, standard equipment on a car is not covered by the Fifth Amendment, mostly because private enterprise decides these, things based on attractiveness to the buyer, not by government based on Big-Brother-ness. Auger8 didn't say they should be legally required.
>> ^Payback:

>> ^Auger8:
Imagine the world if dash cams were standard, no reckless driving, no speeding, no DUIs, 3 billion safer more aware drivers.
>> ^VoodooV:
I really want to get a dash cam for myself. Should be standard issue for crying out loud. Everyone drives nice when the cops are around but turn into Mr. Hyde when they're gone. Dash cams for everyone would put a stop to that.


...completely negating the Fifth Ammendment in the US.
Just sayin.

blocked in the UK :*(

Perhaps its just as well. The actual idea of Big Brother, ie forcing people who wouldn't ordinarily socialise into living with each other and monitoring their interactions, is actually quite interesting imo. The problem with Reality Television is that its not Reality. The aim is entertainment, so they pick extreme personalities that are likely to create conflict and drama, and the very nature of television attracts fame-hounds with a vacuum where their brain should be. I suppose what annoys me is that people watch it at all, and then those very same complain about the state our little Island is in. No fucking shit, stop watching garbage television, or at least change the Channel to BBCNews and get some REAL reality TV.
